I agree about the RAS. I used one for a few years and much prefer a decent TS. They can be made to do good work, with a lot of fiddling and piddling around but a good TS is just easier. The availability of good 10 or 12 inch sliding compound mitre saws have made the RAS virtually obsolete. I would only consider one for primary sizing of long stock (if I had the room).
I see you have a Makita jointer planer machine. You say that you don't use the planer.
I've got a similar machine and must be the best thing I have ever bought - next to this computer I use now. Have you had to change the blades on the machine? If so could you possibly film the general procedure. My machine is due for a tune up but I am afraid of ruining anything. Thanks.
@MyJosePrado I have a stand alone Dewalt planer which is why I never use the Makita planer. I would suggest you type Maklita Planer repair in the youtube search box. I'll bet you find somthing close.
Nice job. Thanks for posting.
